Britain should spend more helping its own poor than on defending the Falkland Islands, Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner said on April 2, 2015, responding to a recently-announced budget increase aimed at protecting the contested archipelago. Britain's government said last week it would reinforce its military presence on the Falklands to counter the "very live threat" posed by Argentina. Fernandez de Kirchner, in a speech honouring soldiers who died in her country's failed 1982 invasion of the South Atlantic islands, dismissed the idea of Argentina being a threat, telling Britain to focus instead on fighting poverty within its own borders.
